On the occasion of International Women’s Day, and despite the circumstances that delayed its celebration this year, Antonine University (UA) presents the third edition of the UA Women in Gold, a signature gathering that honors women whose dedication, integrity, and leadership contribute meaningfully to the University’s mission and to society at large.
Organized by the Vice Rectorate for Integral Human Development (VRIHD) in partnership with the Women’s Empowerment for Leadership and Equity in Higher Education Institutions (WE4LEAD) initiative, this edition brings together four distinguished UA women who will share their journeys, achievements, and success stories across diverse fields. Their experiences reflect perseverance, excellence, and a deep commitment to purposeful service within higher education.
- Dr. Tania Abdallah, Chairperson of the Department of Human Resource Management
- Ms. Yvonne Haddad, Director of the Office of the Registrar
- Ms. Rita Haddad, AOC Manager and ERP Project Manager, Office of Information Technology
- Ms. Suzanne Feghali, Administrative Assistant, Language Center
The panel will be moderated by Fr. Jean Al Alam, Vice Rector for Integral Human Development, fostering a thoughtful dialogue on leadership, resilience, and the transformative impact of women within academic institutions and society.
